Let's buy a book at the bookstore because it's now

If what you want is sold on both Amazon and your favorite shop, wouldn't it be more exciting to go to your favorite shop to buy it even if it's a little troublesome?

In the past, the only way to buy books such as comics, magazines, books, and photo books was to go to the bookstore.

When I was a child, there were only comics and magazines that seemed to be everywhere in the neighborhood bookstore, but when I went to a large bookstore in the city, it was an opportunity to learn about the world that I had not yet seen through many books that I had never seen in the neighborhood bookstore.

When you go to a bookstore, you will encounter various books until you go to the book corner you are looking for. Even books of the genre that I was not interested in at all until then, the pop with elaborate layouts and ingenuity unique to the bookstore will catch your eyes and give you new awareness.

Now, when you buy a book on Amazon, AI will give you personalized suggestions, such as recommendations for you and those purchased by similar people. It is certainly a useful function, but there is no encounter with books like in the bookstore in the past, such as new realizations or discoveries.

If you buy clothes online, you may be freed from the time and hassle of going to the shop, but by feeling the unique atmosphere created by the shop and the clothing and way the clerk speaks, even a simple white shirt is special. They will make it something else.

Uber Eats is convenient for meals, but Uber Eats cannot carry the atmosphere of the store, such as the interior of the store, tableware, music playing, and customer service.

If you are only trapped in convenience, your daily life will be much more sloofy, and unexpectedly, things that take time and time will be more fun and attached to them.

You will feel many times happier even at the same time than eating a meal that only fills hunger, and it is more natural to live with the sun than to always live with the same brightness like an office or hospital. You should be in good health.

A convenient and functional life is not bad, but a life with a good view and a pleasant wind, sound, and smell are many times better than that.

We have a convenient life due to the evolution of technology, but I'm sure I'm the only one who feels like we're forgetting something important to people.
